Gran Hotel Bali

For a stay with a view, why not opt for Gran Hotel Bali, the tallest hotel in Europe, boasting over 700 rooms spread across 52 floors. You'll have an incredible bird's-eye view of the coast from the spa (closed Sundays), as you relax in the indoor Jacuzzi®. Here you can also take advantage of the relaxation circuit, the beauty centre and the fitness area (FYI there's a charge for some spa services but it's totally worth it!). Down on the ground, there’s semi-Olympic and lake-shaped pools, with a separate option for the kids to splash around in. And if that wasn’t enough there’s another Jacuzzi® there too.

During summer, the hotel runs a full entertainment programme for both children and adults, including live music, dancing and DJ sets in the nightclub. The little ones have their own play area, and there's also pool and table tennis. If you want to escape the warm Mediterranean sun for a quiet read, retreat to the library.

The buffet restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, featuring show cooking. Between meal times you could enjoy a frothy coffee and a cake in the cafe, or a cool cocktail from the poolside bar.

Standard rooms have twin beds, a sofa, bath, safe and minibar. For when you want to breathe in the fresh sea air, you can make use of your own private balcony. Quadruple rooms will suit the needs of many families, with either two double beds or three single beds. Or for that bit of extra space, why not consider upgrading to a suite? Some even have a private Jacuzzi®!

There’s no need to worry about having lengthy queues for the lift, as there’s an incredible 18 of them.

Benidorm’s sandy shores are less than 10 minutes’ walk from Gran Hotel Bali. And as you’d expect there’s no shortage of bars, cafes and restaurants in the local area, plus watersports, hiking and cycling. While for the real adventurers, paragliding is an option.

For those who want to get out and explore, there’s an extensive local bus network enabling you to go almost anywhere on the island. Or you could hire a car through us, it's a fantastic way to see Crete – parking is available at the hotel (charge payable).
